When reading wikipedia articles about star wars too often it seems that there is an original research component of "synthesising" information between the movie and expanded universe sources.
The easiest example I can think of for that is the article on the dark jedi. Although the article explains that it is essentially a plothole that a lot of books were written using the "dark jedi" as a term for the bad guys and then lucas started using "sith" as a term for the bad guys in the phantom menance, the article itself only pretty much discusses the term as used after the phantom menance. The article should discuss the term as used in books prior to the phantom menance, and then how it was used after. To clarify about what I mean about synthesizing, it seems the editors of this article thought "ok, if lucas started calling the main dark side bad guys sith, what would dark jedi mean? i guess it would mean jedi who started to use the dark side but didnt go over to the sith". But even if later expanded universe books startede using the term in that way, it would be unencylopedic to ignore the old usage just because it is a plothole in the expanded universe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.121.145.139 ( talk) 18:26, 4 February 2007

I just noticed {{ Non-canon Star Wars}}. How notable is any of this? Do all of these entries belong? i.e. sourced by multiple non-trivial publications? And with that, shoudl they even be linked togther? There's absolutely no relationship between them except that they weren't officially made by George Lucas. Hbdragon88 02:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I just noticed that the first vote on this for AfD was rigged, in fact there is an 8 to 7 majority for deletion when you clear out the the people that voted more than once and the smurf votes from the same IP. The second vote on the article for AfD doesn't explain anything, no real information is given and that still seems rigged! I really don't see how this article is contributing to wikipedia and secondly this isn't encyclopaedia material at all. Also I would like to note that I put the discussion tag up requesting why this should be kept and not deleted about a week or two ago but that by a non-admin, non top contributor user. I have been through the article and read it and I still truly believe this should be deleted. Govvy 13:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lightsaber combat (4th nomination) - Denny 15:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Het Nkik claims to be about a character from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, but I don't believe any of the backstory in the article (or indeed, the character's name) are actually in that film. Can anyone on the WikiProject provide some context (or references!) for this one? Is this character sufficiently important in some other canon publication for a separate article, or should it be merged somewhere? JavaTenor 09:36, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I came across two pages that I do not think are required and should be deleted or fixed they are:
Star Wars Episode 7 and Star Wars episode 8
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Whstchy 15:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Comments welcome... Is there enough meat here for its own article, or should the salvageable stuff be merged somewhere? Zagalejo 01:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed that there are several articles about characters from Episode IV whose only appearance came in a deleted scene. I will confess here that I'm not familiar with much of the Star Wars Expanded Universe beyond a few of the video games, so I may not have a full sense of the importance of these characters, but would it make sense to merge any of the following articles somewhere?
Thanks, JavaTenor 00:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
The article K-wing was deleted at AfD but a new version has been created. Unless it can be properly sourced it should probably be deleted or at least merged into List of Star Wars starfighters since it is at most a minor part of the universe. Eluchil404 22:39, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Would it cause any problems if I redirected Template:sww to Template:Wookieepedia box? I'm trying to put these boxes (similar ones can be found at Template:BabylonProject and Template:TardisIndexFile) into use as ways to point towards more fannish, in-universe types of articles and to generally promote free content, and since Wookieepedia is one of the best fan-wikis out there I'd really like to put its use out. It also solves the problem that the sww template has, which is that it's a template pretending to be plaintext, which is explicitly discouraged. But I know the template is in use on a lot of articles, and I don't want to accidentally break them making the change. Phil Sandifer 22:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I made a userbox that is slightly different than the one currently being used as the userbox signifying membership of the Star Wars WikiProject. Take a look; if you think it's pretty good, you might want to add it to the list of Star Wars templates. - PhishRCool Talk Contribs 00:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
An army of sockpuppets is adding fan fiction to a host of Star Wars-related articles, such as at List of Star Wars cities. I'm not familiar enough with the series to determine what is actually fan fiction, so it would be best if someone more familiar with it had a look. — Xezbeth 05:46, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, so I just spent a lot of time going through the six episode templates ({{ Episode V}} and the like), replacing regular links to the Star Wars databank with properly filled-out {{ databank}} tags (which was only used on about 15 pages before). I also added {{ sww}} to a few articles that didn't have it, rearranged the links on a few pages ({{ databank}} should be above {{ sww}}, as official websites should always trump third-party websites in order), and ended up adding external link sections (with both the aforementioned templates) to several articles.
I tried to hit all the major characters and planets, but there are probably several dozen or so articles that I've missed. If someone else could help finish it up, that'd be swell... I've already done 100+ articles, and I'm really tired of doing it now. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
As part of the Notability wikiproject, I am currently considering the article Plat Mallar. Since I am not too familiar with Star Wars, I could use help from someone who is.

I'm currently making a series of improvements to Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, and for the plot/setting section there's some stuff which I'd like to include, but I can only find on Wookieepedia as a source. I'm quite hesitant about using Wookieepedia as a source - it's a wiki, so any pages referred to could be vandalised. If Wookieepedia is not reliable enough, are there any other reliable sources I could use instead? Thanks, UnaLaguna 21:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
In the Return of the Jedi article, I've added a "copyedit" tag. Also, there needs to be some additional citations. The reaction section also needs to be expanded. See Talk:Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi#FAC. Anyone who wants to copyedit this article, add additional citations or expand the reaction section for FA is very much appreciated. Thanks. Sjones23 01:47, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
This article is in a really bad condition and definitely needs to be looked at in order for it to be back into a GA or even an FA. Sjones23 20:13, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I've been doing some work on TIE fighter and am wondering whether it would be to fold and redirect TIE interceptor and TIE bomber into TIE fighter. They other two contain almost entirely in-universe information and plot summary, and I've not seen online or in my print materials a whole lot of real-world information about either of them. Thoughts? -- EEMeltonIV 16:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I need some help getting the ROTJ article to featured status. Most of it looks good. I need some help finding verifiable sources and additional sources and expansion in the reaction section. Any help on this article should be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Greg Jones II 16:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
You Star Wars guys, you are losing the fight. An admin has put up for a second deletion request Kuat Drive Yards as well as
I think these are all important pages but I simply don't have the time or knowledge to save them all. Would someone with access to some source books and some real-world connections clean up these pages to save them and note those changes on the deletion pages? I hope they have time to be saved!

I took an indefinite leave to work on other areas of Wikipedia (namely WP:FF), but when (or if) my WP:FICT rewrite (or a variation) is established, then I'll feel obligated to return here. There's still a ton of potential in this project. Last year it was with the merges, and this year it will be with sifting through those merges and beginning the process of quality construction. — Deckill er 23:08, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed on the article about the Army of the Republic two internal links both leading to redlink redirects: Clone Commander and Commander Bly. I'm not sure what would be the best way to fix it, so I thought I inform you people and leave it to your capable hands ;) -- _The Hiddey_ 21:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
You guys work quick, impressive! By the way, I located another one: The InterGalactic Banking Clan, which I originally spotted on the article about the Magna Guards. -- _The Hiddey_ 18:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
I recently posted the following to the Sith talk page but that hasn't prompted any action, so I thought I'd put it here also. I'd rather somebody from the Project deal with it, because I know if an IP like myself makes the attempt somebody is just going to revert it and call it vandalism, but if nobody else takes it on soon I will start making the necessary edits.
I've added the rewrite tag and taken away two of the unreferenced tags for a number of reasons.
That should take care of most of it - have fun. :)

Let me know what you think about me edits on X-wing series! I think its a good example of the kind of star wars articles wikipedia needs but doesent have enough of, in terms of format (really im not bragging). Your thoughts? Basejumper123 02:48, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
These articles need to be merged and redirected. Deletion should be performed only as a last resort (this is a volunteer project, after all). Most of the books and games have no plot summaries in their articles; instead, the plot is spread out and inflated on numerous articles and lists on characters, starships, etc. We need to start sifting through this information and finding where to include it in succinct plot summaries within articles on the works. The only subarticles on fictional things that should exist are those that establish at least some real-world notability (per WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:FICT, and WP:WAF). It's not an impossible task. — Deckill er 02:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I just want to let you know that a user has put up Return of the Jedi for FAC at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Any comments there will be very much appreciated. Thanks. Greg Jones II 03:07, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I have vague recollections of hearing multiple people in documentaries, retrospectives, etc. talking about being amazed and awed by the opening of A New Hope, when the tiny corvette is chased by the huge Star Destroyer. But, I'm drawing a blank on a specific recording or writing to cite for the Tantive IV and Star Destroyer articles. Can anyone think of anything specific? -- EEMeltonIV 02:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
This article needs citation, and badly. I would hate to have to begin removing unreferenced statements, as I think it would leave the article an essentially empty page. Therefore, we should wait about a week, to see if some citation work (remember, reliable, verifiable, non-OR references, please) begins making its way into the article. If the article doesn't get more citable, we will have to start removing uncited statements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arcayne ( talk • contribs) 18:22, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not a member of this project but I think the article Operation:Knightfall must be re-written. For those who don't know Operation: Knightfall was Vader's raid on the Jedi Temple, mainly depicted in the Star Wars Episode III video game. I cleaned up the infobox but I can't strike the right tone for the actually article..Thanks! Speedboy Salesman 16:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
How come this project doesn't have a space on the main page to list proposed / articles for deletion? I suggest you search for "deletion" at other wikiprojects e.g. this active one for examples of how to do it.
Anyway, if anyone here cares about them, get defending. 2 days gone, 3 to go:

I recently posted the following to the Sith talk page but that hasn't prompted any action, so I thought I'd put it here also. I'd rather somebody from the Project deal with it, because I know if an IP like myself makes the attempt somebody is just going to revert it and call it vandalism, but if nobody else takes it on soon I will start making the necessary edits.
I've added the rewrite tag and taken away two of the unreferenced tags for a number of reasons.
That should take care of most of it - have fun. :)

Let me know what you think about me edits on X-wing series! I think its a good example of the kind of star wars articles wikipedia needs but doesent have enough of, in terms of format (really im not bragging). Your thoughts? Basejumper123 02:48, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
These articles need to be merged and redirected. Deletion should be performed only as a last resort (this is a volunteer project, after all). Most of the books and games have no plot summaries in their articles; instead, the plot is spread out and inflated on numerous articles and lists on characters, starships, etc. We need to start sifting through this information and finding where to include it in succinct plot summaries within articles on the works. The only subarticles on fictional things that should exist are those that establish at least some real-world notability (per WP:NOT#PLOT, WP:FICT, and WP:WAF). It's not an impossible task. — Deckill er 02:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I just want to let you know that a user has put up Return of the Jedi for FAC at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Any comments there will be very much appreciated. Thanks. Greg Jones II 03:07, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I have vague recollections of hearing multiple people in documentaries, retrospectives, etc. talking about being amazed and awed by the opening of A New Hope, when the tiny corvette is chased by the huge Star Destroyer. But, I'm drawing a blank on a specific recording or writing to cite for the Tantive IV and Star Destroyer articles. Can anyone think of anything specific? -- EEMeltonIV 02:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
This article needs citation, and badly. I would hate to have to begin removing unreferenced statements, as I think it would leave the article an essentially empty page. Therefore, we should wait about a week, to see if some citation work (remember, reliable, verifiable, non-OR references, please) begins making its way into the article. If the article doesn't get more citable, we will have to start removing uncited statements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arcayne ( talk • contribs) 18:22, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not a member of this project but I think the article Operation:Knightfall must be re-written. For those who don't know Operation: Knightfall was Vader's raid on the Jedi Temple, mainly depicted in the Star Wars Episode III video game. I cleaned up the infobox but I can't strike the right tone for the actually article..Thanks! Speedboy Salesman 16:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
How come this project doesn't have a space on the main page to list proposed / articles for deletion? I suggest you search for "deletion" at other wikiprojects e.g. this active one for examples of how to do it.
Anyway, if anyone here cares about them, get defending. 2 days gone, 3 to go:
